Hmmmm…just what out of any of the links I posted in this thread is "nebulous"? Those links state things pretty clearly….walleye and pike tend to deplete their food supply and stunt in many western reservoirs. What is so "nebulous" about that? (Something that has also been observed and documented in Yuba).
Also, the forage fish studies done on Yuba are NOT from this state…that is where I am getting much of my information about carp on Yuba. Again, hardly "nebulous"! Also, I have spent a lot of time at Yuba the past several years…some of that time has been boating and some of it has been fishing. I have NEVER seen carp schools chasing perch fry.
Also, you seem to think that your "observations" reflect reality….but they may, in fact, not! Sorry, but I totally disagree on the idea that the carp are a limiting factor to the perch….or the walleye making a comeback. In fact, I would say that pike are having a much more detrimental effect on the perch and the walleye than carp.
